Using just their fingertips, a partner can distract pursuing cops, switch from night to day or activate enhanced performance for any car and even control the amount of traffic on the road.”

Curve Studios is quickly growing into a reliable studio for Nintendo. The company is completely independent, but it has produced two well-received downloadable titles for the Big N thus far: Fluidity and Fluidity: Spin Cycle.

Square Enix’s All The Bravest trademark wasn’t a name for Bravely Default’s localization. Instead it’s a completely new 2D Final Fantasy entry for iOS platforms.

The game’s product description confirms implementation of the Active Time Battle system:

“Every character possesses an ATB gauge that displays the time remaining until that character can execute an action. When the gauge is full, simply tap or drag your finger over the character to attack. Touch multiple characters in quick succession to experience exhilarating and fast-paced battle.”

In terms of features, All the Bravest contains characters, enemies and over 30 songs from the Final Fantasy series. Players can take on the role of twenty possible classes including a red mage, monk and warrior. Bosses will appear at the end of each stage.

Those who download All the Bravest will receive access to an in-game shop. You’ll be able to purchase 35 premium characters from “a number of Final Fantasy titles.” Stages from Final Fantasy VII, X and XIII can be bought as well.

All The Bravest should cost around $3.50 USD. It’s listed as $4.19 on the New Zealand product page, so expect a similar price point.
